We’ve had a busy few weeks at DC Waste keeping up with the demand for bulky waste collections in the Dewsbury and Huddersfield area, we like to try and keep our customers happy by making sure we turn up on time and do the job as efficiently as possible.

A lot of our customers are fed up with Kirklees council taking up to 5 weeks to collect their items. Annoyingly, at no point during the order process on the kirklees website does it say how long the wait might be, leaving customers in the dark about how long their bulky waste item is going to be in front of their house.

With Kirklees Council being forced to make huge savings across their service provision, bulky waste collections are being left by the roadside with the council now stating up to 5 weeks for a collection to be carried out.

Starting out on a house clearance can be very stressful. Balancing family’s wishes with making sure that everything gets sorted out can be difficult. But it needn’t be. Make the best of it by following our house clearance tips below.

Tip # 1: Leave plenty of time to sort through and label everything.

In our experience, people often have a lot more contents in their homes than they had previously thought. With this in mind, make sure to leave plenty of time (usually days, not hours) to sort through everything and decide whether it’s to be kept or disposed of. Don’t forget the loft, garage or shed and use an easy to remember labelling system (like colours) as you go through the contents to show which items are to go where or are to be disposed of.

House clearances can be a challenge. Whether it’s because your tenants have moved out and left you with their unwanted furniture or because a family member has passed away and their home needs to be cleared before the estate can be finalised. DC Waste have a great deal of experience in clearing houses and other properties, both small and large.

If you have a house or business property that needs clearing give us a call on 0800 023 5797 or 07870 459 737 or send us an email to get an obligation free quote.

Moving home? We know that moving house can be a really difficult time. And yes, we all know those people who make it look effortless, but the truth of the matter is that moving is hard – sometimes it’s because you loved where you lived, or because you didn’t, but at the end of the day there is a reason why most people only ever move once or twice in their lifetimes … and that’s because of ALL THE STUFF!!!

As a company, DC Waste Management have done our fair share of moves both personally and professionally and the aim is to make it as stress-less as possible

MWRA wanted to know how well residents are recycling by measuring the amount of recyclables found in their general waste bins and recycling containers. DC Waste were tasked with sampling all of the different waste bins – general, recycling, green waste and food waste recycling from many different streets around Merseyside and bringing the samples back to a central sorting facility for analysis.

Kirklees residents are getting fed up with the increasing wait times for the council to collect their rubbish. Sofas, beds, bedroom furniture, carpets can be seen piling up in front of houses and spilling out onto the street causing arguments between neighbors and also having the potential to become infested with rats and other pests.

Kirklees residents are being told there is a six week wait time before their bulky waste can be collected.

In 2014, Kirklees council received over 30,000 requests for bulky waste collections.

A spokesman for the council said: “It is true that due to staff shortages and our prioritising resources to ensure the regular domestic waste collection schedules are maintained, that there are delays in bulky item collections and they are taking much longer than we would like.

“We have put messages on the website and on the phone lines advising people of the delay and advising of alternative means of disposing of such items, for example contacting charity collectors or taking them to the nearest household waste recycling centre.”

I send email to DC Waste Management on Monday night. They email back on Tues morning to confirm, a quick phone call and an hour later all my old furniture was gone. A fantastic service, Mick and his colleague were courteous and pleasant to deal with. I will recommend this company to anyone as giving a first class service with no rules and not having a pile of rubbish in the garden for weeks on end. Thanks guys.

Contacted DC Waste Management to dispose of some furniture left at our old house. Was due to hand the keys back so couldn't wait three weeks for the council. Furniture and rubbish was quickly removed in a couple of days. Very professional service with great communication, price was better and of course easier than getting a skip. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend.
